69 2002-03-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
71 * lib/Devel/Symdump.pm: perl 5.6.1 introduced a package name of
72 "<none>" to work around a bug if somebody uses the deprecated
73 C<package> without an argument. I believe we need to ignore that
74 symbol completely so that at least we follow the lead of the B::
75 extensions. Thanks to Sreeji K Das /sreeji_k at yahoo.com/ for the

83 2000-06-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
85 * Fixed my email address in and made a few tiny editorial changes
88 * Replaced Changes file with this ChangeLog file, appended the
89 full Changes file below.
91 * Fixed the test 6 in t/symdump.t. This test was broken by
92 perl-5.6.0 but not Devel::Symdump itself.
94 1997-05-16 Andreas Koenig
98 * Fixed typos in the manpage, added a test for tree, no functional
99 change, released 2.00.
101 1997-03-31 Andreas Koenig
105 * 1.99_01 is the designated 2.00.
107 * Between 1.20 and 1.23 the method as_HTML was introduced and a
108 few code cleanups happened.
110 * 2.00 switches implementation to use *ENTRY{XXX} internally. This
111 means that we can determine scalarness even for undefined scalars.
112 We don't expect unknowns anymore.
114 * 2.00 introduces the new ios() method which should replace the
115 older filehandles() and dirhandles() methods. For backwards
116 compatibility the old methods continue to work as they used to.
118 * 2.00 comes with isa_tree and inh_tree utility methods for
119 analysing the inheritance tree. Devel::Symdump objects may be used
120 to create snapshots, but their typical use would be as class
123 1995-08-16 Andreas Koenig
127 * test 7 of t/symdump.t was too capricious. In fact the test was
128 based on wrong assumptions about loaded packages in the perl
129 binary. Static perls and dynamic perls have different symbol
130 tables when they run thetests. So test 7 is gone.
132 * test 4 of t/symdump.t relied on $@ being set like in perl5.001m.
133 This might not be a correct assumption. So test 4 is replaced with
134 a dummy 'print ok' until the $@ problem is sorted out
136 1995-07-03 Andreas Koenig
140 * Added an as_string method.
142 * Rewrote the test scripts so they output standard test strings
143 "ok nnn". This is dangerous for new perl releases, but will help
144 me do get bug reports early.
146 * Renamed the exporting example package to Devel::Symdump::Export.
148 1995-05-29 Andreas Koenig
152 * Changed '${pack}::' and relatives back to "$pack\:\:" to make
153 the package "-w" safe. Deleted the debug statement in _doit()
154 after Gurusamy Sarathy fixed the bug in perl5.001, but left a
157 * Changed the AUTHORS section to plain "Andreas & Tom".
159 * Added this Changes file :)
161 1995-05-28 Andreas Koenig
165 * After a considerable amount of mail exchange between Tom and me,
166 we now have a unknowns() method for all the rest in the symbol
167 table that we currently don't follow further. new() is renamed to
168 rnew() which stands for recursive new. new() now does not go into
169 recursion which becomes the default behaviour for people calling
170 directly Devel::Symdump->arrays etc.
172 * Added a Devel::Symdump::Exp package for Tom who wanted the
173 methods exported. Tom had tried to add Exporter to the package and
174 to export the undefined methods directly. Andreas didn't trust
175 this trick although it seemed to work fine. So they are still
176 considering if it can be done.
178 1995-05-27 Andreas Koenig
182 * Drops all prettyprint functionality and becomes a primitiv
183 package after some talk with Tom Christiansen and Gurusamy
184 Sarathy. Moreover, Dean Roehrich's additions to the perlbot
185 manpage gave me (Andreas) some hints about package globals which
186 now get a new dress within the object.
188 1995-05-xx Andreas Koenig
192 * First release of the formerly Devel::Debug called package.
